"The 11th and 21st regts of infantry, are on their march, the 6th and 25th under orders, and are to be accompanied by the 3d Artillery :—The place of destination is unknown I leave it for you to conjecture—I am in hopes, with the blessings of Heaven, we shall do something worthy the character of American soldiers; but as the place or object of our movement is secret, shall not flatter myself too much until time gives birth to the event.
